    Summary

    Shane thought that by the time he was thirty, he’d be married and on the waitlist to adopt a baby. He spent his twenties in one serious longterm relationship after another, after all.

    Instead he is now twenty-nine, single for over a year and looking for a nice, stable boyfriend: preferably college educated and in the same place in life as he is.

    The only problem is that the bartender at the restaurant Shane takes his dates to is the hottest man Shane has ever seen in his life.

    Summary

    Their outside shot at a wild card slot ended at home in Boston in mid-February, when the math just didn’t work out in their favour anymore.

    Ilya wasn’t surprised when he was called into a meeting with the GM the next day. The way he’d been holding out on contract extension talks, and the way the team’s season had been trending, he was honestly surprised it had taken that long.

     
    Before he can make the move to Ottawa in free agency, Ilya is traded to the Detroit Overdrive for the remainder of the season. It's only a temporary move to bolster their playoff prospects, but it still puts a hell of a wrench in some carefully laid plans. And once one piece of the plan changes, who knows what the ripple effect will be on the rest.

    Summary

    “Do you know this name, ‘Shane Hollander’?”
    The kid looked at Shane, chewing his lip and frowning a little, before turning back to Rozanov. “I think so, yes.”
    “Who is he?
    “Uh… a hockey player?”
    “No,” Rozanov said in a harsh, cutting tone. “He is no one. Because he is on my ice. Understand?”

    To help with his edge control, the Metros' coach recommends Shane take figure skating lessons with someone named Ilya Rozanov. Rozanov is rude, abrasive, and insists he will only teach Shane in a group class for kids. Shane, a rookie hell-bent on proving himself and unwilling to disappoint his coach, refuses to give up despite how much Rozanov tries to humiliate him each lesson.

    Summary

    Shane doesn’t know how to grocery shop for two. He doesn’t know how to do any of this, really. He’s keenly aware that this was the longest stretch of time he’d be spending alone with Ilya, with any one person ever, outside of his parents.

    In a way, it feels like playing house, unpacking the groceries and setting out a set of towels and washcloths for him. It is playing house. This is what it might feel like, to be able to have him all the time. The thought feels impossible to contemplate, terrifying to dwell on for longer than a minute or two at a time.

    Summary

    Shane was there when Ilya got the call, his arm heavy across Ilya's stomach, like even in sleep he could tell something was trying to take Ilya away from him.

    When Boston realize Ilya wants out, they send him to the highest bidder. The highest bidder is LA.
